Lord TennysOn,s Poem.
BIZ WRITES SOME VERSES CELEBRATING THE QUEEN OF
ENGIaND's JUByEH


BIZ WRITES SOME VERSES CELEBRATING THE QUEEN OF
ENGLASD's JUBILEE.
Lord Tennyson's jubilee ode was published yes
terday 1t is entitled 'Carmen Saculare" and Is
in alternate three and eight line blank verse. A
cablegram from London last night says: The ode
is the subject OF general rdicule IL Is regarded as
q bad imitation Of Walt whitman. Even the con-
sentative ito6e gives a Sneering parody OF lr.
Here is part OF II:
Fifty times the rose has lowered and faded,
Fifty times the golden harvest fallen.
Since our Queen assumed the globe, the soeptre.
She beloved for o kindieness
Rare in fable history.
Queen aud Empress of lncia.
Crowned so long with . diadem
Never worn by = worthier.
Now with prosperous auguries
Comes at last to the bountcous
Crowning year Of her jubilee.
Fifty years of ever broadening commerce,
Fifty years Of ever widening empire
You, the mighty, the fortunate,
You, the lord territorial,
You, the lord manufacturer,
You, the hardy abozious patient children Of Albion,
All your hearts be in harmony. al your voices in UNI
Singing hail to the glorious
Golden year of her jubilee
Are there thunders moaning in the distances
Are there srectres moving Ia the darknexss
Trust the Lord OF Light TO guide her people
I'LL fne tnunders pass, the Spectres vanish.
Aud the light Is victor, and the darkness
Dawns into the jubilee of the ages.

Naming sheridan for President.

FRIEND OF GEN. LOGAN FAvORs THE NOMINATION.
New York special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
says: The latest suggestion for Presidential
nominee for the Republican party is that of Gen.
Phil Sheridan. number Of Old soldiers are de-
termined to test public sentiment as to Sheridan,
and with that object in view have begun to talk
vigorously in his favor. met here to-day Gen. j.
I. florence, OF Chicago who Was known as the
friend OF Gen. John A. Logan Gen. Terrence said
'The boom for Sheridan is a substantial one,
founded on the generals merit. Such ticket, for
instance, as Sheridan and Depew, or Sheridan and
some strong New York man, would capture the
country. Gen. Sheridan is an able man. He i'm
presses himself upon every one with whom he
comes In contact as man of highest ability. He
is true and tried Republican, but he Is not Bit
ter partisan. His connection with the army has
prevented him from taking any part in politics.
and So although he is known everywhere to be q
Republican, 1t is not in the offensive sense OF par
ttSanSh1p. think he would capture every soldier
vote in the country and every Irish vote, besides
polling the entire Republican vote. ] am inclined
TO think that the nominee OF the Republican party
In 1883 will be new man, either Sheridan or some
man like Foraker, OF Ohio. Judge Foraker Is Inn

HORSE.

ALBUoUERouE. N. NJ, March 3o-Frank Chick
living near Fowlers Gap, A. T., was shot and
killed yesterday by Geo. Palmer. The men had
for some time past been the best OF friends. bur
about two months ago Chick had been robbed OF a
horse, and despite all efforts made TO trace the
thief no more WAS seen of the animal until Friday
last, when Chick saw Palmer riding IL. Chick at
once made a demand for the horse. and Palmer not
giving IL up at the moment. Chick began making
threats about the way horse thief should be pun
lshed. As Palmer had purchased the horse from a
strange cowboy the insinuatiOns OF Chick hurt his
feelings, and he answered In a manner that meant
nothing else but fight Chick drew his revolver
but Palmer was too quick for him and Chick fell
dead with a Winchester ball through the heart
Palmer surrendered himself TO deputy sheriff
claiming selfdefense the cause OF his action IN
killing Chick.

What is Going On in the De-
partments.
An Epitome of What was
Learned at the Capitol
Yesterday.

In the comptroller's office there was
nothing yesterday, except the approval OF
the bond of j. NJ. Robinson, of Oldham
cOEnty, as tax collector.
Mr.. 4. s. Harrison, who has been in this
Office so long resigned his desk yesterday.
His place has been filled by Mr.. W..
Finley, from Cass county, who was APP
pointed by Swain. Mr.. Finley has been
in the Office four years, and by
his efficiency has clearly won tins ad
vance. 1t shows very conclusive!y one
thing, taken in connection with some re-
cent changes in this Office-that 1t is gong
to 9 run on strictly civil service reform
principles, and as long as they are en-
forced no one can be materially IN
jured.
In the land office nothing is being done
except Captain Walsh's preparation to
hand over his office to his successor. One
thing can certainly be said,
and thai is that the present incumbent
will not hand over his trust, leaving every
thing at SKIES and sevens. He, with the
aid of his efficient clerks, are working
hard to give Mr.. Hall a tidy office.
Prof, Oscar Cooper was in the office OF
the SUPERINTENDENT of education yester-
day, getting accustomed to the routine
work and meeting some of the callers.
The SrATEsMAN's man met him yesterday,
and the S. M. expects to worry
him great deal in the future, as he Is
disposed to be verv sweet tempered.
On Capitol hill it was found that the
capitol board had meeting yesterday
morning in order to complete some I'M
flashed business. They adopted some
recommendations and changes recon-
mended by the capitol commissioners and
superintendent; among other things it was
decided that the dome commencing at
the height of los feet from the ground
line up 119 feet further, should be built of
brick instead of dimension rock. This
change is absolutely required by the
curves in the dome, so that they will be
stronger. The roof will be copper instead
of slate, this change being required by
the low pitch of the roof, and the galvan-
lied iron skylight sash will be used in,
stead of wood. These changes are all
material and necessary, and others just as
important should follow in a building
where the nearest approach to perfection
is required.

SERIOUSLY HURT.

As the hook and ladder truck was
answering the fire call last night, and was
turning the corAer of Pecan and Layaca
streets, it overturned, and Alex Wilkie,
the tillerman, was thrown to the ground
and seriously injured. He was conveyed
TO the Carrollton house where DIR. Swearin-
gen examined him. 1t was found that
his shoulder was broken, and some of his
ribs we're dislocated, but the most of his
injuries were caused by the rack of lad
ders falling across his stomach. This, it
is feared, has caused internal in Juries,
which may prove serious.

ONE LIVED, TIE OTHER DIED

A woman formerly our slave is now our cook.
About eighteen months ago she became sickly and
had cough and was confined to bed, and it was
thought that she had consumption. The treat
ment of physicians failed to give relief. In De-
cember, 1884, node or knot the size of goose
esq formed just above the pit of the stomach, which
when lanced discharged matter forS or 8 months.
one of these alec formed under her arm, and three
ON her back, which discharged matter for a con.
siderable time. For six months of this time
she was confined to the house, and most of the
ime in bed The stomach often refused food, by
,s6ecting what she had eaten. She used great
deal of medicine but failed to be cured. bought
one bottle of your B. b. b. (made in Atlanta Ga.)
and gave it to her, and she commenced to improve.
then bought and gave her three bottles more.
and she continued to improve and in two months
time her cough had ceased, her constitution
engthened, appetite and digestion good all dis
charges ceased, nodes or knots disappeared, and
she went to work apparently healthy and fattened
up greatly.
This woman had married sister of near same
age who was affected in precisely the same way
and about the same tina. She had node or knot
on pit of stomach, back, etc. >he did not take
any b. & E. and the nO.e on her stomach ATE
through to the cavity, She continued on the de-
cline. and wasted away and finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood poison

nther did not it and died 1t ia most aesuredly

REV. JOHN BROWN REPLIES TC
"TENAN"
To the Statesman.


To the Statesman,
Act l514, 9, used by Texan as text
to preach a sermon to the commissioners
courts of the drouth district, was never
intended to be applied to case of public
calamity, but only authority given the
commissioners court to provide for such
individuals as are physically disabled, and
have no property, relations or friends to
be chargeable with their support.
1t is the foundation upon which coun-
ties build poorhouses, and buy and i'm
prove poor farms. Those who derive the
benefit must take the pauper's oath and
cannot vote.
As the commissioned solicitor for the
drouth sufferers most earnestly beg the
legislature to act at once in the matter of
giving relief. There is great danger that
in the midst of their labors our repre-
sentatives will delay the needed aid until
something shocking occurs to rouse them
to the magnitude of this great question
| am not threatening, but l beg to inform
all concerned that unless relief is imme
diately given that will be compelled &c
call to our assistance the Red Cross so
ciety-a society whose labors of love are
